romney invoke mr. bush but was not able to make out the context and was again escorted away by a came pain staffer. the romney campaign went to great length to allow there to be a meeting but also squelching evidence they had had anything to do with each other. and in the same news cycle, in that same news cycle, somebody in romney land had the genius idea of floating as mr. romney's vice presidential nominee, the highest profile person from the bush/cheneystration who was not george w. bush or dick cheney. so they're getting new communications in over at romneyland. seems like a good idea. with or without these, i'm sure excellent new communications folks coming in to try to tune up the shop at rom com, it's going to be hard for them to run from the real connections between mr. romney's campaign and the last republican presidency. i mean, even if mitt romney has so far managed to avoid being seen next to george w. bux, there are now a bush of statements on the record of him and dick cheney making prov

romney or mr. ryan are operating that way now. >> indeed. maria, after spending a month trying to distance himself as co-sponsor of todd akins forcible rape bill, did he return to the roots of his ideology today? >> i am trying to figure out why he would go and speak at the value voters summit. they already know he has a solid base for mitt romney. what he needs to do is start going to the middle and start to appeal to women voters. attacking women's rights to choose and attacking abortion ensures women are not only going to come and vote but more than likely cast a vote against the nominee. i think what paul ryan is trying to do is curious. it is building his platform, but not making it broad enough for folks to say he understands my issues, which is not abortion and woman's right to choose but fundamentally, the economy. it is curious they're not talking about the economy. they're talking about foreign policy, they demonstrate they're incredibly trigger happy, and going after women's right to choose which are voters they desperately need.

the advisor continues, mr. romney speaks french. he understands the world, the idea that he's this naive guy at 65 years old given his experience heading the olympic winter games and everything else, i just don't think that's going to play. while it's true the olympic games that mr. romney ran included people from other countries, it did involve people from the other countries coming to america to compete in utah, which is where those games were run. if that counts as international experience, so should working at an airport or driving a tour bus in a major american city. maybe holding a meeting at the international house of pancakes. would that count? the campaign is choosing not to compete for the presidency on the basis of foreign policy. and whether or not you were hoping republicans win the presidency, that decision to not compete on that issue has dramatic consequences for all of us in the country because it means of the two major parties, one of them, the republican party, has decided to not come up with a new republican take
